Samuels said in the calls that the Pedroia men would be shot and killed, according to a press release from Woodland police Sgt. Heath Parsons. Pedroia had come under some scrutiny in his former hometown, Woodland, for a quote in recent Boston Magazine story in which he said Woodland was a "dump", and "Everyone wants to get out of (Woodland). The place (stinks)." Pedroia told the Sacramento Bee that he was taken out of context. "I'm totally crushed by this, devastated," he told The Bee, "because I didn't mean it that way at all. The (Boston Magazine) writer doesn't know my personality. I kid around a lot, and that's what I was doing when I was talking about Woodland ... That town raised me. I grew up there. I rode my bike there. I played high school ball there. Loved al of it. My family and best friends are still there. I love going home. This article made me seem like a jerk, and I'm not."
